Camden Market



We went to the Camden Market last weekend and it reminded me of canal street in New York where everyone is selling completely fake stuff and trying to sell it off as real. I do love stuff like that though because you can always mess with all of the sellers and try to get them down to the lowest price possible. I never can get enough of that haha. Among products sold on the stalls are crafts, clothing, bric-a-brac, and fast food. It is the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. 

There is a sense of fusion everywhere you walk because there are people from every culture under the sun all trying to sell off their fake products. You get everything from sunglasses to hats to vintage clothes to gross chinese food. There is so much fusion going on there that you don't know what to do with it.  From the food they were selling to the cultural clothes they were having people try on. It was awesome to see that much mix in one place. There was even a rave store called Cyberdog that had gogo dancers in cages and the entire place was lite up by black light.


There were plenty of artistic expressions too when walking around and taking in everything. Everyone had a personal way of dressing, talking or engaging with other people. It was interesting to see how everyone went about showing their identity and who they are as a human being. Expression was every where you looked even on the walls and on the ground they had artistic expression. That is one place where you shouldn't be worried to wear something that is different or that's not exactly hip right now. That place is where you go to show your identity and who you are as a person inside and out.
